Over the years, we saw some cars equipped by fancy technology, depends on what the car was designed for. And this raise a question: Should all those tech simulated in racing sim?

Recently we're talking about unnecessary details in racing sim. But, the details on some game actually matters.

Why i bring this up? I kinda wish some cars in racing games comes with all the tech, just like the real cars, and you got a chance to disable them as well. For example, Porsche 918 with actual boost. Or S-Class with Magic Body Control and Radar Cruise Control. It might be useless, or maybe makes the car slower. But that makes the game a bit more realistic and maybe become even more fun.
